Glass curtain walls are an aesthetically pleasing and innovative method of architectural wall decoration, a prominent feature of the modernist high-rise building era.

[0003] Patent CN201820483961.6 discloses a shock-resistant glass curtain wall, including a clamping frame, glass, and a support box. When in operation, the glass is installed in the clamping frame. Under the action of the sliding sleeve, sliding column, spring, and suction cup, it can effectively dampen the glass curtain wall. The limiting mounting plate, limiting mounting holes, and sound-absorbing cover can disperse the impact of sound waves on the glass curtain wall. The sound-absorbing holes on the sound-absorbing cover can further enhance the dispersion of sound waves by the glass curtain wall, thereby reducing the impact of sound waves on the glass curtain wall and improving its seismic performance. Under the action of the support plate and support rod, it can provide good support for the glass curtain wall, improving its stability.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, springs are used to dampen the glass curtain wall, but the springs do not have a corresponding damping structure, so the damping effect is generally poor. Utility Model Content

[0036] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an earthquake-resistant glass curtain wall includes a clamping frame 1, a support box 2, a glass plate 3, and a fixing mechanism. The clamping frame 1 has a mounting groove 11 and is fixed to the support box 2. The support box 2 can be fixed to the wall with screws. The glass plate 3 can be inserted into the mounting groove 11 of the clamping frame 1.

[0038] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes a clamping rod 41, a first clamping plate 42, a fixing sleeve 43, a first elastic element 44, a first elastic protrusion 45, and a second elastic protrusion 46. The clamping rod 41 is evenly distributed on the clamping frame 1, with one end extending into the mounting groove and slidable relative to the clamping frame 1. The fixing sleeve 43 is sleeved on the outside of the clamping rod 41 and fixed to the outer wall of the clamping frame 1, with the axis of the fixing sleeve 43 coinciding with the axis of the clamping rod 41. The first clamping plate 42 is disposed in the mounting groove and fixed to the end of the clamping rod 41. The first elastic element... A spring is selected, with one end fixed to the fixed sleeve 43 and the other end fixed to the clamping rod 41. A first elastic protrusion 45 is evenly fixed to the outer wall of the clamping rod 41; a second elastic protrusion 46 is evenly fixed to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 43, and the first elastic protrusion 45 can contact the second elastic protrusion 46. Through the cooperation of the clamping rod 41, the fixed sleeve 43, the first elastic element 44, and the first and second elastic protrusions 45 and 46, impact energy can be effectively absorbed during vibration through the extension and contraction of the elastic element and the frictional contact of the protrusions. The sliding design of the clamping rod 41 allows the glass panel 3 to move within a certain range, avoiding stress concentration caused by rigid connections, thereby significantly improving the seismic performance of the curtain wall and extending the service life of the glass panel 3.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism further includes a second clamping plate 51, a rotating sleeve 52, a screw 53, and a guide post 54. The second clamping plate 51 is disposed in the mounting groove 11 and is correspondingly disposed to the first clamping plate 42. The rotating sleeve 52 is fixed on the second clamping plate 51. The inner wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a slot that mates with the rotating sleeve 52, allowing the rotating sleeve 52 to enter. One end of the screw 53 is rotatably connected to the rotating sleeve 52. The clamping frame 1 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the screw 53. The clamping pressure can be precisely adjusted by rotating the screw 53 to achieve a tight fixation between the clamping frame 1 and the glass plate 3. The engagement of the threaded hole and the screw 53 enhances the adjustability and stability of the clamping mechanism, especially during glass installation or replacement, allowing for flexible adaptation to glass plates 3 of varying thicknesses and improving construction efficiency. One end of the guide post 54 is fixed to the second clamping plate 51, and the other end passes through the clamping frame 1. The clamping frame 1 has a guide hole that mates with the guide post 54. The engagement of the guide post 54 and the guide hole ensures that the second clamping plate 51 maintains a straight line during movement, preventing uneven clamping pressure due to offset. This guide design improves the accuracy and reliability of the clamping mechanism, ensuring the glass plate 3 remains firmly fixed during vibration.

[0040] In other embodiments, the first elastic protrusion 45 has a curved surface 451 on one side and a horizontal surface 452 on the other side, and the second elastic protrusion 46 has a curved surface 451 on one side and a horizontal surface 452 on the other side. The curved surfaces 451 of the first elastic protrusion 45 and the second elastic protrusion 46 are on different sides. The curved surfaces 451 of the first elastic protrusion 45 and the second elastic protrusion 46 are arranged in opposite directions, so that when they come into contact, they can generate progressive frictional resistance guided by the slope of the curved surface 451. This design not only reduces hard impact wear between protrusions, but also makes the buffering process smoother, effectively disperses vibration energy, and reduces local stress concentration.

[0041] In other embodiments, the support box 2 is provided with a connecting mechanism, which includes a fixed column 61, a damper 62, a third elastic element 63, a mounting hole 611, a fourth elastic element 64, and a rubber block 65. The fixed column 61 is fixed to the wall. The damper 62 is evenly arranged around the fixed column 61, with one end of the damper 62 hinged to the support box 2 and the other end hinged to the fixed column 61. The third elastic element 63 is a spring, which is sleeved on the damper 62, and its two ends are respectively fixed to the two ends of the damper 62. The damper 62 absorbs lateral vibration energy through the hinge structure, while the third elastic element 63 provides longitudinal elastic restoring force. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the adaptability of the curtain wall to multi-directional vibration and further enhances the overall seismic performance. The mounting hole 611 is opened on the end of the fixed column 61. The fourth elastic element 64 is a spring, with one end fixed inside the mounting hole 611. One end of the rubber block 65 is fixed to the end of the fourth elastic element 64 and can slide relative to the inner wall of the mounting hole 611.

[0042] In other embodiments, the end of the screw 53 is provided with a groove 531; the groove 531 at the end of the screw 53 is designed to facilitate rotational adjustment using tools (such as screwdrivers or hex wrenches), simplifying installation and maintenance operations. This structure improves the operability of the clamping mechanism, reduces construction difficulty, and ensures uniform distribution of clamping force.

[0043] In other embodiments, both the first clamping plate 42 and the second clamping plate 51 are provided with guide plates 7 at their ends. The guide plates 7 are curved in an arc shape. The arc-shaped guide plates 7 allow the glass plate 3 to be smoothly guided into the placement groove 11 during installation, reducing damage to the glass edges from impacts. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure of the guide plates 7 helps to disperse the initial stress during clamping, improving the stability and safety of the clamping process.

[0044] In other embodiments, the support box 2 is provided with a sound-absorbing panel; the sound-absorbing panel in the support box 2 can not only block external noise and improve the acoustic environment inside the building, but its damping characteristics can also help absorb some vibration energy, forming a dual protection of sound and vibration, and further improving the overall performance of the curtain wall.

[0045] In other embodiments, both the first clamping plate 42 and the second clamping plate 51 are provided with elastic anti-slip protrusions; the elastic anti-slip protrusions effectively prevent the glass from sliding or falling off during vibration by increasing the friction between the clamping plate and the glass plate 3. Its elastic properties can adapt to the slight deformation of the glass, avoid surface damage caused by hard friction, and ensure that the clamping is firm and undamaged.

[0046] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure.
